Historians believe that the English Wallflower first arrived in England in the 11th century, brought by the Normans. Its common name comes from the plant's affinity for nooks and crannies in walls or cliffs. It tends to spring up in the corners of castle ruins, roadsides, or any bit of rocky soil it can find near the sea. Records show that this plant once had many herbal and medical uses, as well as being used in perfume because of its fragrance. In the language of flowers, the wallflower also symbolizes disappointment in love.

Botanists believe that the Siberian Wallflower, rather than coming from the European strain, originates from the Erysimum family of native American wallflowers. Presumably, this species acquired the name "Siberian" because of its excellent cold hardiness; it thrives in the damp, cool weather of coastal regions or higher altitudes.

Western Wallflower is the most common of the native wallflowers, and can be found in conditions ranging from the desert to the mountain meadow. Though this American species does not generally live up to its name, its European relatives acquired the common name of wallflower because of their affinity for growing in the cracks of walls or cliffs. Western Wallflower was first discovered near the Columbia River around 1829 by English botanist David Douglas, who made several trips of exploration to the United States. Douglas also introduced such species as the Ponderosa Pine, Sitka Spruce, and Noble Fir; the common name of Douglas Fir honors his legacy.
